Museums of Tears extends Francesco Vezzoli’s 2024 exhibition at Museo Correr, Venice, combining historical works and new commissions to explore antiquity, emotion and illusion.

First Meeting is the first monograph on Argentinian artist Santiago de Paoli. Covering de Paoli’s oeuvre from his early, experimental projects to his most recent explorations, the book delves into his innovative approach of painting on unconventional materials, from plaster to bread, felt to canvas, aluminum to wool, and socks to fur. It features newly commissioned essays by Fernanda Brenner, and Mariano Mayer, as well as a conversation between Christian Rattemeyer and the artist.
The book is also punctuated by visual archives of de Paoli’s different studios throughout the years, enriching the comprehensive overview of an artistic universe where nature, abstraction, magic, and surrealism intersect and converge. Encompassing works dating from 2010 to 2024, this monograph lays out an original pathway for the interpretation of de Paoli’s oeuvre.
